[quote=Anonymous][quote] Anonymous wrote: Shepherd covers one of the few black communities in DC that didn't experience Black Flight (which is often missed when discussing white flight). Most middle class black families there didn't move to PG/MoCo when DC declined in the 70-90s and crime didn't spike there. It remains a great place to live. Yelp...I'd say Brightwood, Chillum, etc. seem to have remained steady. But that's the 800 lb guerilla. DCPS needs Middle Class and UMC black families to buy for advanced programming to be a real option system wide. Those are the families that have remained vested in the city and are not as prone to leave. It's a heavy lift because those scars run deep. [Report Post] [/quote] Those are also the families who definitely do NOT use their by-right public schools like Coolidge---instead, they opt for Wilson (if zoned for it), Walls, Banneker, charter schools like Latin, Basis, DCI and EL Haynes, or else privates like St. John's.
